Kontraband was founded in Gothenburg, Sweden, early 2005 by Peter Hageus (vocals, guitar) and Daniel Mars (machines). The ambition was to combine the raw energy and spontaneity of a live rock band with the groove and hypnotic feel of programmed, machine-based music. The songs and lyrics drew inspiration from swedish post-punk, as well as more primal offerings.

The primary target was always the stage, and Jörgen Oscarsson joined on bass and backing vocals in spring 2005. A live guitarist is currently being recruited.

This is their debut EP, featuring ground-breaking post-punk.
